Sheryl Sandberg leaves the office at 5:30 p.m. every day
While many people think it takes long hours and working over the weekend to be successful, Facebook’s Sheryl Sandberg demonstrates that you can get ahead and work normal hours. As she shared in an earlier interview, even before she became Facebook’s COO when she was working at Google, Sandberg would leave the office at 5:30 p.m. every day so she could be home at 6 p.m. to have dinner with her kids.
Additionally, after suddenly losing her husband in 2015, Sandberg took off time to grieve. That’s because on top of paternity leave, Facebook also offers employees up to 20 days of bereavement leave.
